I'm looking for opinions on what kind of floor to install in our new place. We have a dog and a fish tank, so I'm looking for options that would stand up to dog claws, possible dog mistakes, and minor (sometimes major) spilling of water from the fish tank.
We've had real hardwood before (finished onsite), but the dog scratched it up real good with his nails. We've had laminate before also, however, any water left standing for any significant amount of time caused the seams to swell. Now I know in a perfect world I shouldn't have to worry about standing water, however, I don't wanna have to deal with replacing parts of the floor in case one of these days there is a puddle of water that sits there for a day or two.
I'm currently looking at vinyl plank flooring. It's like vinyl tiles, however, it's made to look like wood. One company that makes it is
Any other suggestions I should look at?
Thanks, Harry
